Microbiology and Immunology

Study microscopic organisms and better understand the impact they can have on health, the environment and the food we eat. Microbiologists and immunologists usually have a particular specialisation, such as bacteria (bacteriologists), viruses (virologists), fungi (mycologists), protozoa (protozoologists), infectious disease outbreaks (epidemiologists) or how the body defends itself (immunologists). Microbiology is a broad career area, giving you the freedom to find a specialisation that fascinates you every day. Imagine being able to use your research to inform public health policies, control the spread of harmful microbes or produce a viral vaccine that saves millions of lives. Make your dreams a reality with CSU.

Spatial Science

Have you ever wondered how Google maps are developed, or how your GPS knows how to get you to your destination? Careers in spatial science involve managing, analysing and displaying information about Earth, including its natural features and built environment. If you’re fascinated by the physical fabric of Earth – its contours, slopes, heights, depths, rivers, oceans, cities and mountains – consider a career in spatial science. As a spatial scientist, your career could include surveying, geographic information systems, hydrography and cartography. Your role could also provide vital assistance, like helping emergency services take the quickest route to the right location. The latest technology out in the field, such as remote sensors attached to aircraft and satellites, will be key tools of your trade in an industry that changes as fast as the world around it.
